Anime Review: Blue exorcist


First, let me be in my fan girl mode first......RIIIIIINNNNNN!!!!! <3


It been a while since I watch some good anime that didn't involve these

-girls with spoiled attitude and sexual object
-male character who supposed to be the main character are useless
-too many boobs or fan service
-too cliche
-blah blah blah yada yada


for example: Esther from Trinity Blood


"oh, I'm so innocent and fragile, why is everybody love me? why he never want me? oh my I hurt, help me please~"


okay, I don't like her! But the anime was good!



I saw plenty of Blue exorcist fanart around DeviantART and I decided to open my heart for some anime and it was pretty good!

The element presence in the anime really suited to my weirdassfetish of brotherhood, fatherhood, sanctity, paranormal and twin brother. As always my favourite character have to die, ALWAYS!


NOOOOOOOO!!!!!
*spoiler*

Anyway, the anime is about a teenage boy name Rin who live in a monastery with his family. Rin, the main protagonist of the story is kind-hearted boy with some attitude and people didn't like him because of his unearthly power and ability. Only the worker, his father and brother understand and love him. Little that he know that he actually have demonic blood flowing through his veins and a human body. His 'REAL' father come to earth and wanted to take him but he refuse because he wanted to protect human (good kid) and now he become a full demon and become exorcist.


Introducing Rin, the main character


In the first episode, there is some sensation of Western aura that might involve in the anime despite the main character attend regular Japanese middle school and struggling with his future after he finished his middle school. He was raised in a monestry and have a twin brother who is more smarter than him but love him as much.


Yukio, the main character younger twin brother

So here you got some loving family with lovely neighbourhood, a brat who is really good at heart but find it hard to make people like him.


Ah.....Harmony...






and then bang! Demons come and wanted to take Rin to Hell


just another good day turn bad in anime world



...somewhere in my heart I knew his father have to die, every movie or drama must have a "stresser" to make it interesting no?


NOOOOOOOO!!!!!



Too bad, I like his father, he remind me of Father Anderson of Hellsing

Hell yeah! Not your average Reverend


or maybe because of the glasses :9


I like pious old men who know how to kick some demon ass =D



The brotherhood is very interesting, its not your average twin brother from Ouran High School Host Club Hikaru and Kaoru Hitachiin or some brotherhood of long battle trying to kill each other like Itatchi and Sasuke or Cain and Abel



(all hail brotherhood!)





(Hikaru and Kaoru)


umm...it's bromance....



 umm....still a bromance....






























OMG, INCEST! 

Okay, it just a fanart.....don't get me wrong I love incest but they only exist in fantasy, just fantasy! I can't bare myself if it exist in real human form! It just wrong! No way!






Itatchi and Sasuke was first like....


and then they were all like....

and Itatchi was...

....in the end they were all...

EMO






If you know the Bible story of Abel and Cain, Trinity Blood have the story more or less the same, there is no love between them, just two twin brother try to kill each other




Although Rin and Yukio have strong bonding, Rin didn't want to get his brother involved in his conflict as both have different personality and status in their school. There are some friction between them but they managed to solve it anyway, in the end Rin and Yukio just have some silly issues between brothers but they are protecting each other.

You know what like brothers are like~


Rin and Yukio shared the same room in their dorm so it's easier for Yukio to check on his demon brother


Some argument on Yukio position as exorcist but Rin didn't know it up until their father death

Rin: I’ll eat it!
Yukio: Nii-san, are you all right?
Rin: Granny is calling me…
Yukio: What?! We never even met her! Wait, don’t you dare follow her!

Maybe, brotherhood turn me on, I dunno, I just like brotherhood~



wait, too early? XD



......and I really like their relationship with their father, he love his two son unconditionally and treat them with love (in his way)




NOOOOOOOO!!!!!

Overall this anime is great, the main character have the promising charisma and personality that will make the anime interesting. The chemestry between characters are also dynamic and make me wanted to watch the episode more. The story itself is entertaining, all and all its worth to watch for whole season and I hope they could make another season and continue to be this great

I gave it 3/5

P/S: it's only air 6 episodes, so I want to see the development of this anime =)


Okay, I'm in my fan girl mood over these series because its been a while since I watch a good anime =D

Top 10 Myths about Introverts

Found this on Tumblr and reblogged them here since most of Tumblr user tend to use small fonts, I managed to dig down the sources.

So yeah, this stuff is so hard to ignore and I really love to share it around.

Source: carlkingcreative

Top 10 Myths about Introverts

Myth #1 – Introverts don’t like to talk.
This is not true. Introverts just don’t talk unless they have something to say. They hate small talk. Get an introvert talking about something they are interested in, and they won’t shut up for days.

Myth #2 – Introverts are shy.
Shyness has nothing to do with being an Introvert. Introverts are not necessarily afraid of people. What they need is a reason to interact. They don’t interact for the sake of interacting. If you want to talk to an Introvert, just start talking. Don’t worry about being polite.

Myth #3 – Introverts are rude.
Introverts often don’t see a reason for beating around the bush with social pleasantries. They want everyone to just be real and honest. Unfortunately, this is not acceptable in most settings, so Introverts can feel a lot of pressure to fit in, which they find exhausting.

Myth #4 – Introverts don’t like people.
On the contrary, Introverts intensely value the few friends they have. They can count their close friends on one hand. If you are lucky enough for an introvert to consider you a friend, you probably have a loyal ally for life. Once you have earned their respect as being a person of substance, you’re in.

Myth #5 – Introverts don’t like to go out in public.
Nonsense. Introverts just don’t like to go out in public FOR AS LONG. They also like to avoid the complications that are involved in public activities. They take in data and experiences very quickly, and as a result, don’t need to be there for long to “get it.” They’re ready to go home, recharge, and process it all. In fact, recharging is absolutely crucial for Introverts.

Myth #6 – Introverts always want to be alone.
Introverts are perfectly comfortable with their own thoughts. They think a lot. They daydream. They like to have problems to work on, puzzles to solve. But they can also get incredibly lonely if they don’t have anyone to share their discoveries with. They crave an authentic and sincere connection with ONE PERSON at a time.

Myth #7 – Introverts are weird.
Introverts are often individualists. They don’t follow the crowd. They’d prefer to be valued for their novel ways of living. They think for themselves and because of that, they often challenge the norm. They don’t make most decisions based on what is popular or trendy.

Myth #8 – Introverts are aloof nerds.
Introverts are people who primarily look inward, paying close attention to their thoughts and emotions. It’s not that they are incapable of paying attention to what is going on around them, it’s just that their inner world is much more stimulating and rewarding to them.

Myth #9 – Introverts don’t know how to relax and have fun.
Introverts typically relax at home or in nature, not in busy public places. Introverts are not thrill seekers and adrenaline junkies. If there is too much talking and noise going on, they shut down. Their brains are too sensitive to the neurotransmitter called Dopamine. Introverts and Extroverts have different dominant neuro-pathways. Just look it up.

Myth #10 – Introverts can fix themselves and become Extroverts.
Introverts cannot “fix themselves” and deserve respect for their natural temperament and contributions to the human race. In fact, one study (Silverman, 1986) showed that the percentage of Introverts increases with IQ.

I study better with the presence of human than monkeys and ghost, you?

Photobucketeat someone!

Some people expect too much from us, especially when I lived in a society that expect more than just regular ABC and 123, heck I lived in an environment that entertainments are fucking social illness. My teenhood was among trouble anti-social teen case and partly due that nobody seems to care about my interest.


In my Universities, I never realize how I felt like prison until I went to New Zealand and there I stay at Queen’s street for 4 days. Luckily we were very close to a University there and foreigners are common to the local. Not exactly that I really want to focus on, what I like about it was that the University was really close to hustle bustle of the crowd, there was cinema, restaurant, bookshops, hotels, grocery stores, hell, there’s even a hall for concert! Everything was within walking distance! What really great about the university was that the area was not entirely prison of all study and no fun; there are some other thing that makes you enjoy, live, life, rejoice the University life. I mean, if we just meant to study everyday without entertainment then we are nothing but a computer that save data and all that. Here, it was hard enough to arrive at nearby shop without car and the closest entertainments I get in my campus compound are my laptop, my broadband and my drawings.

Taken from my old blog in 365, yeah, Queen Street is a cool town

So yeah, I feel betrayed when my lecture told me that, uni-life was wonderful and awesome. Well, I enjoyed that few months after my brain chained with assignments. I mean, was entertainments something to grab with too much effort? It cheap but took a lot of fucking effort to enjoy it. If I didn't went home every week I might as well turn myself upside down, walking on top of the roof or even date with some monkey in the campus.




That just another problem why the quantity of cars keep increasing in Brunei (apart from cheap price), not everything come within walking distance and some shops are really close to main road that well, makes you vulnerable and embarrassed to walk with. I myself didn't drive car to UBD and if I did I went out relieving my stress like nobody business and think about gas money later. It is stressful enough that once you step out of the campuses building you see; well, another lecture buildings.



Some may say that what if the students in campus will go ahead party instead of studying, for the love of God, uni students are adults who are old enough to think and make choice; we know when to enjoy life and when to study hard and work our ass for assignments. Probably there is also some may argued that not all people agreed that some students couldn't work better in hustle bustle condition of the city or town. Well of course certain compound of our uni is quite enough that only the sound of wind and monkey swinging around from trees to trees can reach (yes, my RC and library).



I’m not just talking about for the sake of stress relieve, I’m also wanted to point out that while not all student in our uni have cars to mobilize around and have to sacrifice “water face” to ask for friends help, it also convenient enough for the admin to let another grocery shop to be establish within the compound for the sake of the RC residents.



My mother told me that in their hostel, they have this small shop for the residents to buy food, kitchen utensils and even stationeries! And the awesome part is they are not even uni students! Why? Oh why we don’t have this? Do they think that all uni have cars and just the existences of small shops are waste of time and space? Wait, oh yeah, we do have that, but it close after dark..oh never mind. Most probably they just thought about the parking space for the convocation and when that happen, the compound will occupied with oh so many  cars like during the major slavery trade from Africa.

Yes, its cruel, imagine the people inside are cars, that going to happen when big event pop-up in Brunei

Then again, I don't know the reason why they isolate us from the town or a bit far to reach another community, I'm just sayin...

Sit by empty opportunity

Living in a small, rich and Asian country is blessing. We have strong govt system and generous wealth that pour to us like heavy waterfalls. Pretty much I enjoy the luxury living in my country and yeap if Better Living Industry is a country, this is the perfect reality. Please note that BL/ind is not the bad guys, it just an organisation with different view with the Killjoys.

What I want to rant here is that I can't get the privilege and opportunity to grasp my dreams. We always had been taught to have a dream of our own and in order to achieve that we must learn and work hard. As we grow up the initial dreams may be slowly dies away and forgotten and end up as somehow we like to complain about everyday in Brudirect

There is no such thing that we can do everything we want and love in this world. Somehow there always something that stops your progress. In my case, I want to be European History experts and art design. Well guess what? It WILL NOT going to happen anytime soon.

First, in my Uni, the only history we must learn is Southeast Asia history and mainly emphasize on Brunei history. There I am, hoping to learn more about European history or perhaps, at least the Middle East history, but no! I admit; I only have a little interest in SEA history, mainly due to my history subject from where I started to pick it; the same topic all over. When I learn French Revolution in my 6th form, I feel the sudden urge and desperation to know the real story of it. Then I entered Uni and I started the same thing I learn back when I was form 1, yeah I might end up killing myself. For now I just have to sulk in internet and learn European history of my own. Thank fully, this semester, the History Department introduce Imperialism modules and the lecturer himself told us that he won’t concentrate in SEA...much. Thank You Allah!

Perhaps it’s my fault for not being brilliant enough to study overseas and pursue my dream at another Uni out there that offers ‘Major in European History’ and I can’t blame to much at my Uni since we being emphasize on our MIB philosophy that we MUST study Brunei History more. Then again society also taught me that


Well yeah that kind of shit. Reality-ly and conformist-ly whatever you love in artistic form rarely get you anywhere, especially here. If say I have this major and continue till master or PhD, hell, I will end up teaching! Growing up by looking at my mom’s back planting a seed for me to become a teacher and with my promise to become History teacher still lives on.

Try to think about it, why does it hard in the first place to do whatever we want to achieve what we dream of when we were young and innocent and just say whatever what we want to be? Well, from what I observe, living in Brunei can get you fairly everything. We get free medical service, while some country using insurance policy. We get free education while some country struggle to get donation. We are tax free and subsidies are abundant while some countries have to pay toll every miles and lied to IRS about their bank account. Sadly this also become some misleading mind-set.

“I eat whatever I want, I might get some disease and illness, oh well, I won’t be paying any surgery or treatment” *angel*angel*wink*wink*


“Study~nah, not that I pay it anyway”


“kay, now that I finally paid my car....I would like to buy another one for my 5 years old kid”

This mind set also in a way leads us to ‘pampering system’ we just sit back and let whatever things solve by itself. For example you could become a singer in Brunei provided that you will go around the studio, meet people, making promo to radio stations or making small gigs around the neighbourhood. Some people who serious about this will do it, some will just laid back and say what we like to say “malas ku eh” or my teacher used to shorten it into MTKI (Malas Tah Ku Ingau). Sometimes when we look at the media we see artist make so many glamour and fan around them will dash forward, we sometimes expect too much like that. To be idolised in one night, to be in a higher position when we are only start working for a day. Everything should start from the bottom, unless your dad is a millionaire and go around pay people to raise you up or you somewhat a genius and at the right moment at the right time to promote yourself, well lucky you. God must have blessed you. (No sarcasm intended)

I could become a comic author if there is a company that accept my shitty artwork. One thing that I can’t do it is not because it does not give me a promising future but how the generation before me look at it. I did see some Bruneians artworks got publish...somehow and mostly are concentrated in Bandar area people. I should talk to the editor and publish some of my artwork and at least make me happy that some Bruneian could watch and read at my comic. But hell, it’s not my intention at the first place actually. Drawing is like drug to me, I draw stuff when I get bored and seriously under pressure, the only reason I want it publish is that I want to show to my mother that how happy and glad I am whenever I draw. I never have the blessing of my mother when I started drawing Mangas and thankfully she accepts it somehow when I enter my form 6th (maybe she relaxes a bit because my two brothers already left to UK). Still, I wish it to be publicly published so people could comment and criticise it.

For now, I may not become a comic artist anytime soon but I opening my DeviantART account just to make myself happy.

How much bliss is ignorance?

“Ignorance is your new best friend”

Ignorance by Paramore
I usually hate those ignorant bastards that make me want to explain what has happen around the world like

Zzah: ‘Hahaha, Clouseau make fun of the Pope in Pink Panther movie!’

Idiot: ‘Who is the Pope? Why people look up to him?’

As much I could just take a rifle and blown idiot mind...let review something first...

I tried to divide between ignorance idiot and blissful ignorance, so basically those ignorance idiots are asshole people who simply didn’t take notice what happen be it locally and internationally. Whether they don’t care or just really an asshole, no really, all they care is their own wellbeing, who know maybe they are too busy touching themselves or too busy watching other people touching themselves. I mean I thought Internet was invented to send vast information without a limitation of space and time, share information and stuff like that, with the exceptional of some disturbing information, graphic image and viral video of cats doing something. Even Brunei internet still a big joke, newspaper should be the best alternative to gain new information. Get your ass off your couch and read something! Don't be ignorant bastard who doesn't care about other or shut your eyes from today global problem!

That kind of people just really piss me off, I know it is not my place what you should do every day but life only once, why wasted with something that make no muscle movement? What the used of our brain if we couldn’t gain any knowledge?

You never know much a small bit of information could change the way you see thing

On the other hand, there always be two side of a coin. There are few things that best left uninformed. Other than porn, yes that too. I knew someone who is very ignorance about racism, that person is really blissful, he treat every human living the same, be it minorities, tourist, anyone without looking the colour of skin or dialect. You just don't care what other are thinking

Certain thing should leave uninformed, it would be better if I didn’t know anything about Daily Mail blaming My Chemical Romance for the death of Hannah Bond. It hurt me so much that a band that once save my life could be accused of suicide cult. If only I could just shut my eyes and ears to hear any negatively comment about the way I handle my life, what the fuck are you care if I didn’t become Barbie doll?

There is a time where I should be ignoring at something and let it be, celebrities gossip (this one really piss me off because the writer just wrote whatever shit without proper evidences), racism, negative comment about my personalities and the way I handle my life, anything that is not my interest (but some idiots like to brag it on), whatever bitter memory I have with my friends that sometimes cause an awkward moment when I meet them. Although some people wish it could be delete or alt-ctrl-del the ugly memory, I can’t do that even if I’m suffering short-term memory loss, I have good memory when it come to old memories. All I can do is to ignore that shit and I have to move on.

I’m currently ignore people past, I don’t care what people say about them. I don’t know and I don’t care, I only judge people by God’s gift, my two blurred but still functional eyes. Even by that I can’t truly understand them because they are their own king and queen. We never know what the fuck they are thinking without consulting them. I rarely reading some emotional status on Facebook and Tweets, I find them disturbing!

“Don't explain your feelings. They belong to you”
Paulo Coelho

Unless you are seeking professional help then I suggest you should go to psychiatrist. If you want someone to take notice or pay attention of you then you may doing it right. Probably someone out there care and will do everything in the world to comfort. I don't care, I rarely update my status anyway.

“Behind a cold face there is always an insecure heart”
Paulo Coelho

We never know....

Anyway I’m a big fan of @Paulo Coelho, he is a great writer, not like any motivational writers, he know how to explain human mind and that makes me respect him. I usually hate some whatever emotional breakthrough and motivational shit, but Paulo way of writing is very different and unique. I've become his fan since I read his book “Like the Flowing River: Thoughts and Reflections”

Kill before what tomorrow bring to you

If you choose to be in state of comma and living your dream, would you favour it over the fucking shit we are having?

Most of us probably rather be in the happy life without pain, suffer…to be in the world where you could be love and be love.

What I should critise for this one? Are they afraid of being hurt? Hurt by someone you truly trust? Unless we a type of human who consume self inflicted wound then that is a different case. Human try it very hard to avoid pain, sometimes we afraid to move forward because we afraid that it could someone that dearly to you get hurt, we just hate to feel that way aren’t we?

If the decision was to choose to could take a pill and place ourselves in a limbo and to believe the idea that project inside our mind to be real, would you take it, no more pain, no more suffering. Just happy thought, place, no people and even you can hurt you…you are safe in your own dream.

Well I believe in God and have faith in Him that he won’t create a world that completely sucks. He creates this reality, the best that He created for us. I won’t dwell on His attributes or why evil exist (philosopher still looking for answer).

Sure life is really unfair, that pray alone couldn’t change the world and reality. Then our body exists to assist our mind to pursue our will. I believe that whatever happens, it should have reasons, that I just letting my hope that whatever happens are for the well-being harmonious universe. Life sucks, we all know that, but sitting in the corner and cursing the world won’t help to change what damage that has been done. Scream, sing, rant it all up, express whatever bother you..then slap yourself in the face and stop fucking sulking yourself! You cannot turn back and change the ending; you could look back and rebuilt yourself.

You can't go back and make a new beginning. But you can start over & make a new ending” 
(Chico Xavier, Brazilian medium)

Sometimes hopes for humanity become slim but that doesn’t mean we follow the pattern....we are our own king and queen, choices are freedom.

Well I just love the reality, for me only pain can prove that I’m still alive and to be in this horrible place earth, being in the happy place without pain itself kind a creep me out, nothing is perfect not even you, me, fish and chips and your mom!

Yeah, that was why drug was invented

So in the end, my advice is don’t do drug.

Yeah, stop being a pussy and accept that you suck at Photoshop or something and try to over turn that shit!

Like a 16 years old girl who just discover email

Yeah you heard me, 16 years old girl! Before I rant it out what the hell is this post is about, why people always complain about 16 years old girl? In my experience when I was 16 is that this the time where you are about to shape who you are, it is either you follow the plastic path of eating disorder or an overly excessive emotional or stay in the corner of the dark and cursing the world or whatever hell do you want to be.

I live the hardest choice of my life during this age, I admit My Chemical Romance shape my attitude and become your truly. I’m among those fans that really thankful to My Chemical Romance to produce “I’m not Okay (I’m Promise)” because this song really told us to don’t take anyone shit, live by your life, be who you are and don’t be afraid of what people judge you. They maybe don’t read this shit but I want to say Thank you for saving my life.

It was not only My Chemical Romance; I’m also an avid anime/manga freak. I draw comic like nobody business and I did pick up some aspect of Japanese culture and anime-fan culture and to what I learn recently it is called Wapanese. Basically Wapanese is a bunch of assholes people who violated English and Japanese, combining Japanese words into a complete different language to sound cute and have highly unhealthy obsession to become Japanese citizen, at first it was yeah it sound nice but some of them make you want to take a chainsaw and cut them into pieces. My seniors has it, my juniors has it, my friends has it, but on the basis of neutralism; I respect those Wapanese who went to Japan, learn proper language of Japanese and I may consider them as pro-Japanese rather than Wapanese.

Don’t get me wrong and start a campaign against those who hate anime, manga or anything related to Japanese. I mean I still love them and people have the right to hate or like something. You can’t take the person and start -mindfuck- hypnotise them to do against their will! Unless its religion matter but you are not allowed to hypnotise them! Kill Them: A dead Wapanese is a good Wapanese. A lead pipe to the base of the skull is a sure fire way to get them down. Afterwards, a chainsaw can be used to deliver the much deserved mutilation. Mutilation is necessary for preventing them from becoming Wapanese zombies (or at least preventing said zombies from being able to move)

I’m probably the rarest product of anime fans, I love Yaoi, but despise of having the same stereotype, black hair overcome blonde, dominant partner always be bigger, elder, richer, powerful, businessmen, muscular, manlier, influential, taller, sadistic bastard and the bitch is the opposite way…even they tried to exchange the character it is still the same shit. I mean yeah, trap, ladyboy, students screw on teachers, vampire just love his human pet…..I need something new and exciting! I still read some manga tough but not that really liking it. Yes some bastards from Deviantart also hate Yaoi but I don’t give a damn, it is either hate it or leave it

Yeah, start to bitchin’ out is what I will do for the exam, I miss ranting my lungs out at my old blog. Kill Them Again: If at first you don't succeed, try, try again
